Case Study: American Manufacturing Company accelerates leadership succession pipeline with Mercer Mettl's Virtual Assessment Center

Redefining succession planning process across locations

American Manufacturing Company, a global brand with 30,000+ associates, faced a fragmented succession-planning process across multiple locations, relying on costly physical assessment centers and limited leadership access to remote employees. Mercer Mettl was engaged to address these challenges, providing a Virtual Assessment Center solution that leveraged the Mettl Psychometric Assessment Battery along with cognitive and behavioral tools.

Mercer Mettl implemented the online Virtual Assessment Center to enable remote leadership involvement, automate candidate report generation, and run integrated assessments. The solution drastically reduced capital and time investments and sped up succession-pipeline creation, while enabling precise identification of training needs, improving performance alignment with business strategy and producing a healthier, more competent succession pipeline.
